Endocrine Abstracts

The management of neuroendocrine tumours involving the thoracic cavity has evolved over the past few years. However, there remains large variation in diagnosis, treatment and follow up of these patients. The lessons learnt from management of these tumours at other sites in the body have led to recommendation of radical resection of these tumours, while preserving the lung parenchyma. The surgical techniques for management of NET tumours and experience of Regional department of Thoracic Surgery will be discussed.
